This is totally subjective
I learned to write first order equations as
y = ax + b
and a is the slope. But it could be anything. The important thing to remember is that the slope is the coefficient of x when the equation is expressed as y = f(x)

Holy ****, Yahoo! provides one of the most current and easily used search engines available, yet you managed to be unable to type "SLOPE OF LINEAR EQUATION" into the search box? In the time it takes you to post that question on here you could have learned linear algebra.

In the linear equation : y = mx+b
m represent the slope
when using another symbols it will not be, as
my+nx+c=0....etc.

m represent slope
x represents abscissa
y represents ordinate
b represents y-intercept

m, as in y=mx+c, and c is the y-intercept.
